How a factory works: belts, robots, checks and people, sentence 10

A robot arm has an electric motor in each joint that turns by exact amounts a computer orders, so it repeats a move thousands of times without tiring; some place parts to about a tenth of a millimetre.

Who acts: robot arm, electric motor, computer, some · What happens: have, turn, order, repeat, tire, place · To what, where: electric motor, joint, exact amounts, move, parts

This is a sentence of the lesson «How a factory works: belts, robots, checks and people» of the technology course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (robot arm, electric motor, computer, some), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R2-punct-next ×1, R5-strong ×3, R7-rel-agree ×1. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
